lovemyGreys

I have 4 greys, My two girls, who are both re-homes do have leg rings, my two boys do not have leg rings but are microchipped.I know the rings can irritate some greys & they can get them caught while playing.It really is a personal choice.As for ID purposes, if god forbid your grey was ever lost wearing a leg ring will make no difference if your grey was to fall in the hands of a dishonest person.

Great website Ronda, you have the cutest bunnies & what a nice thing for the children to be involved in. We had rabbits when i was a child i believe there were Dutch, black & whie ones they were house pets ! I have a rabbit now that i just adore

Hi Kinga, my daughter has suffered from psoriasis for years, She is 20 in a few weeks,She interacts with my four greys & baby macaw & to be honest i don't think they have had any bearing on the psoriasis, as you know sometimes it flares up for various reasons, stress etc.. See if you can get a few more opinions but personally i think your partner will be fine

Caroline i fully understand your decision even tho many wouldnt.I also know the heartache this has caused you, personally you have made the decision which is right for you, Charlie & keeko & i applaud you for that,Had we lived closer then you would have been going to Ibiza Friday

Hi & Welcome to the forum,we look forward to hearing more from you

Di as Caroline said they do get use to the dowel,personally i dont feel it does their feet any good,You can rough it up a little with sandpaper, or on one side wrap some sisal rope around for variety

Joey is lovely Tari, is he the one with bad beak ?

I don't think it's necessary to delete Tari, we all fully understand the food chain im sure

How old is your grey ? Baby greys often use their beaks to explore with.If he is biting hard you just need to tell him no in a firm voice, nothing else & return him to his cage or play-stand for a few minutes & walk away, gradually he will learn that biting is not acceptable & gains him no reward.Never reinforce his bad behaviour but always reward good behaviour

Hi archna, Welcome to the forum. As they are both very young i would give avian biotech a call & ask at what age they advise, They are able to do DNA sexing from a single drop of blood or small chest feather, the chest feather being the friendlier option for your bird,if un-sure please allow your avian vet to do it when the babies are older.. http://www.avianbiotech.com/ Here is a few links for you which have information on feeding.. if you have a look around the nursery you will find topics related to baby greys. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73409-handfeeding-a-baby-grey.html http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73842-associated-risks-of-hand-feeding.html

The most popular herbal remedy for the care of parrots is aloe vera, you could apply a little aloe vera gel,this may help prevent any bruising, if a deep cut then id advise a phone call to your avian vet
